Annika Sorenstam

Orlando 14-year-old Johnny Wright hopes one day to don the green jacket.

But even if he never wins the Masters, Wright will have a chance to sink a winning putt on the 18th green at storied Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.

On Sunday, Wright will be among 10 14- to 15-year-old boys competing in the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship, at the home of the Masters.

Boys and girls as young as 7 are split into four age groups and will hit two drives, followed by two chips and two putts on the famed green on the par-4 18th hole. There, champions like Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have drained winning putts.
